Re: Attendance/Scheduling Software
MOE uses TeamSnap. As far as I can tell it works well. I have started a slack channel for the team to improve communication and limit excessive emails.

Re: What happens to the 2016 game pieces?
Too many hands were almost lost (literally) to improper portcullis disassembly. I approve of complete annihilation.

I don't think you should spend money on motors until you've done the calculations for what you actually need.
Since you haven't given any requirements, we can only help you find components that are...

Re: New benchtop mill
I thought you were saying to change a 15A breaker to 20A. That would be a terrible idea. I have seen it done before and had conduit that was hot to the touch. Sorry for the confusion on my part.
